Amit Shah Accuses Chidambaram of Shielding Pakistan in Pahalgam Attack

Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on former Home Minister P Chidambaram, accusing him of absolving Pakistan of involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack. Shah indicated that Chidambaram's comments cast doubt on India's strategic actions against terrorism emanating from Pakistan.

The accusation emerged during a Lok Sabha address where Shah referenced Operation Sindoor, highlighting the neutralization of three terrorists in Kashmir connected to the Pahalgam incident. Shah emphasized evidence pointing to their Pakistani origin, including nationality markers and Pakistani-made products found on them.

Chidambaram's prior comments questioned the identity claims of the attackers, suggesting they might be domestic rather than Pakistani. Shah argued that Chidambaram's stance undermines international recognition of Pakistan's role, painting the Congress in a controversial light over its defense strategy.
